Every librarian will be fired next year in the Grossmont Union High School District, along with 40 other teachers. Over 600 concerned students, parents, faculty members, and citizens showed up to the school board meeting to oppose these cuts - the auditorium at El Cajon Valley High School was full to capacity and people were filling the overflow room and standing outside as well. But still, without explanation from a single school board member speaking in support of these cuts - and a budget surplus of $46 million, roughly 4 times the amount required by the state - the board voted to approve the firings, with only 1 member, Chris Fite, voting in opposition to these cuts.

So what exactly are our kids going to lose as a result of these job cuts? And what can you do about it by showing up to the next meeting on March 11?

To answer these questions, we're talking with a teacher librarian from the school district who is also the vice president of the Grossmont Education Association: Stephanie Macceca from Valhalla High School.

The next meeting you can attend is on Tuesday (March 11) at 4:30pm at Grossmont High School. For more details, visit bit.ly/save-guhsd-librarians
